When I use the Study Color Bar Based on Alert Condition or my own ACSIL to color bars or Color Bar HH/LL they dont work when Volume by Price is ON or when I use Tool > Draw Volume Profile. Why is that? Also I have a study to show Delta on chart only above a certain value, but I have to keep updating the study everytime, because on new bars it does not respect the "Show only above X value". Why? Also ZigZag does that. I have to update the study from time to time and then it shows the correct volume on the zigzag. |

We can not think of any reason why the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition would not work when the VbP is present. We just did some tests to assure ourselves, and we did not see any issue. Please attach a Chartbook with a single chart in it showing the issue you are seeing. As to the Delta, we need to know exactly what study you are using and how you are setting the "Show Only above X Value". As to the ZigZag, we are understanding the exact scenario you are referencing. Are you saying that the wrong volume is displayed and then when you recalculate it updates to correct value? And is this for previous values, or only when a new inflection point is created?

1) Im uploading the chartbook and the screenshot. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1625792352986.png - With VbP on http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1625792424672.png - With VbP off 2) I took the study DeltaBelowBar in Studies8 and added if (Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] > 0.5)
I also added some more things for it to work. I will attach the cpp if you wish to have a look.The problem with it is: It does not work as it is supposed to on the new bars that are forming. So I have to Open Studies and click apply, then it will hide all levels <0.5 for bars already on the chart, but will not for new bars forming. 3) And is this for previous values
Yes, for previous values. I had opened a thread about it sometime ago. There are 2 pics showing the zigzag already formed with a value of 16k down, 5k up 22k down. When I draw volume profile on it the last 4 Zigzags recalculated and values changed to 14k down 13k up 16k down.It is here: ZigZag changes volume value when using Volume Profile Tool |

Definitely the Volume by Price study is not going to have any effect upon other studies unless it is being used in the calculation of those studies. Therefore, based upon the issue you describe in your first post, the issue must have something to do with the study calculation order.

I have read, and the calculation order of study Color Bar Based on Alert Condition is last one. I have tried in Sierra 2245, I have tried in Sierra 2285, I have tried in a new chartbook with a new chart. I have tried Color Bar Based on Alert Condition in something simple like "Close Above EMA" (which does not use VBP for calculation) and still if I unhide VbP the Color Bar does not paint anymore. Any solution I may try for this and other questions? |

With regards to the Color Bar issue, we can see the issue in the Chartbook you supplied, but it should not be occurring. If we start a new chart and put everything on it in the same way, then the problem is not showing. This leads us to believe there is some kind of a corruption of that chart. Please try putting on a completely new chart and recreate what you had before. Do not duplicate the old chart, just start new. --------------- With regards to the second issue, that is a programming issue that it outside of our support. You will need to see if others can answer that for you. --------------- With regards to the ZigZag issue, we need to look into this more.

Is there a quick way to open Settings Settings? Suggestion: possibility to double or triple click on the study to open its study settings. |

Or is it possible to remove some studies from showing at Region Data Lines? Like this I can leave at Region Data Lines only the studies I want to quickly change settings. If you can look into this, would also be nice. I have unchecked "Display Name and Value in Region Data Line" the value does not appear, but the indicator does when I follow this step Chart Studies: Quick Access to Study Settings |

Unless the study is Hidden, it will show up in the right-click option in the Region Data Line. Even then, it is still accessible by selecting the Show sub-menu that comes up. Therefore, what you are asking for is a Feature Request, and we have tagged this thread as such.
